One more post for you to ponder. I did a post awhile back on my other blog about Mind Body Image and how it can affect your weight loss. I think it's important to focus on the positive and not so much of the negative. One thing that I have been doing lately is "Thinking Myself Thin". I'll tell you a little more about that later, but take a look at this post and see if you have any mind body issues that might be overcome with time.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Check out my post on how to Supercharge Your Diet. All of these items are things that I am currently doing and things that I truly believe have helped me to make a change for the better. I am actually getting comments such as I can tell that you have lost in your face and arms, and I can tell you've lost in your behind. The point is, PEOPLE CAN TELL THAT I HAVE LOST. You have no idea how excited that makes me.

Signs that are too funny

Fad Diets: 3 Day Diet

I have actually used this one quite a lot. A few years back I used it because I was trying to fit into a bridesmaids dress and I needed to lose about 40 pounds. This helped me do it fast and it wasn't really too hard to follow. While the menu items can't be changed, the times of day can be. For example, for lunch there is a very small amount of food on the menu, but if you take some of the items from dinner it works just as well.

Instructions:

Drink 4 glasses of water or diet soda per day.

You can add herbs, salt, pepper, lemon, vinegar, Worcestershire, soy sauce, mustard & ketchup to your foods. (I try to keep the salt to a minimum, as I tend to retain water.)

DAY 1

BREAKFAST

Black Coffee or Tea w/1-2 packets of Sweet & Low or Equal
1/2 Grapefruit or Juice
1 Toast with 1 Tbsp. Peanut Butter

Lost 20 pounds so far

Since starting my current weight loss and exercise regimen I have lost 20 pounds. I have been working out on my new Tony Little Gazelle and eating little to no processed foods, plus avoiding white flour. So far, I haven't felt really deprived and I can feel the pounds melting off. I am in a weight loss group here in OC, and I think that has helped me more than anything.

If any of you are looking to lose weight and need a little support, I am going to be giving out tips that have worked for me. Starting April 1st, we will be starting a weekly weigh in where we will be giving away some nice prizes.

Kettlebell Workout

Have you seen the informercial for the kettlebell workout?


It's actually very cool, because KettleWorx is a breakthrough program that gives you the three most important elements of fitness - Cardio, Core, and Resistance - ALL at the same time and ALL in short 20-minute workouts. It works so well because your body becomes the ultimate fitness machine, moving in 3 dimensions, like nature intended. You're toning every muscle, getting RESISTANCE plus CORE plus CARDIO and you're transforming your body in just Six Short Weeks. The kettlebell can be best described as a cannonball with a handle. The kettlebell was first used by athletes over 2000 years ago in Greece, where the kettlebell is thought to have originated. It has since been used by athletes, trainers and 'strongmen' in many cultures and countries.

Kettlebells come in only three sizes: 5, 10 & 20 pounds. While some people consider the kettlebell to be similar to dumbells, the fact is that with kettlebells the motions are not confined to a single, two-dimensional plane as they are with dumbells. Instead, kettlebell exercises employ all three planes of motion simultaneously to give you a well-toned, well-balanced physique that represents great functional strength without bulky size.
